│ QUICK FORMATTER │
│ │
│ As its name suggests, Quick formatter will format your discs in a fraction │
│ of the time the MSdos utility takes. It works by simply formatting each │
│ track in turn, first on one side then the other, and its speed comes │
│ through not verifying the format. │
│ │
│ You have two options you can specify. Firstly, you can choose whether │
│ to format drive A or B (Formatting drive C is not allowed, as this │
│ can be dangerous - if you need to do this, use the standard MSdos utility) │
│ by typing either QF A or QF B (the colon is not required). │
│ │
│ Secondly, following the drive option you can type the letter V. This lets │
│ you switch the verify option back on if you are unsure about a particular │
│ disc. │
│ │
│ Because the program doesn't verify, it is recommended that you only use it │
│ on new or well looked after discs. │
│ │
│ Syntax: QF (drive letter) <V> │
